"A living voice from the past of the Civil War comes to us from the
pages of 'A Confederate Girl's Diary.'... It is fascinatingly
interesting, a volume of real life.... A very human document, and one
remarkably mature and just, to have been written by so young a girl in
times so trying."--_Chicago Tribune._
"No such intimate diary of the war from a woman's point of view has yet
been given to the world, and certainly no diary of such unusual literary
merit."--_San Francisco Argonaut._
"We can but wonder that this maiden of the sixties could have created
and left to posterity such an adequate, convincing and psychologically
perfect portrayal of a woman of the South in the era that closed with
the surrender at Appomattox.... Not a page of the story could be spared.
No one can wonder at the intense courage and bravery of the Southern
soldiers after reading with what passionate faith and devotion these
fiery-hearted Southern women sent them into battle."--_Boston
